Charles Maurras
Charles Maurras, leader of the far-right reactionary Action Francaise praised fascism, describing it as the following:
What in fact is Fascism? A socialism emancipated from democracy. A trade unionism free of the chains of the class struggle had imposed on Italian labour. A methodical and successful will to bring together in a same fascio all the human factors of national production...A determination to approach, to threat, to resolve the worker question in itself...and to unite unions in corporations, to coordinate them, to incorporate the proletariat into the hereditary and traditional activities of the historical State of the Fatherland. —Charles MaurrasWhile Maurras praised fascism as a positive development, he claimed that it was an incomplete form of the ideal integral nationalism that Maurras promoted.

Famous quotes containing the word charles:
“I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
